When Lavender woke up this morning, she wasn’t expecting to be surrounded by a crowd of over-excited, skull-masked strangers with cake and balloons. After all, it wasn’t her birthday; and this wasn’t her home.
She devises a plan to find her brother and escape from the outlandish townspeople of the Hollow - but is she prepared for the grave consequences?
Grimm’s Hollow is a video game inspired by a longing for a short and sweet RPG experience.
It has: A lot of comfort food. A lot of cute ghosts. A lot of mean ghosts. 3 haunted caves to explore! Multiple endings.

I haven't posted any FREE Steam games in a long time but this one looks too good to ignore. It's another student project from the Breda University of Applied Sciences in Breda, Netherlands. HERE's all of their student projects currently on Steam.
Welcome to Arid, a small and contained open world survival experience set during the 1930s in one of the driest places in the world: the Atacama.
Plane Crash It's the 30s. You are the pilot of a cargo flying 8000 meters over the Atacama*, a mysterious failure in the engine and a miraculous landing has left you stranded in one of the largest and most arid desert in the world. Will you survive the harsh temperature and conditions of this unique setting? Is there even a way out?
*We took some creative freedoms in order to extremize the harsh climate and location in which the game is set.
Survival Open World As a singleplayer survival open world, Arid aims at delivering a semi-hardcore experience that does not handheld the players. After a guided onboarding the player will be left to explore and progress the story how they prefer. Will you find and repair all the refuges on the map? Will you explore for additional resources? How many days can you survive?
Harsh Environment Shade in the desert is scarce, as it is water. While exploring the mountains of the Atacama, the player must survive severe dehydration, extreme temperatures, sun exposure and other kinds of natural dangers.
Avoid getting sunburn and be careful to the body temperature of the character. Stock up with resources and look for a safe place!
Weather Events Prepare yourself, extreme temperatures and sandstorm can occurr at any time. While they're not lethal on their own, they can heavily affect a struggling survivor.
Day and Night Cycle Survive the day to embrace the darkness of the night. Find a bed to recover energy or embrace the darkness and explore the desert at night. Vision is scarce but without dangers such as the sun exposure and high temperatures, it will be easier to find resources.
Remember to keep your torch well maintained, you will need oil to be able to explore at night or get deeper in the mining network of the Atacama.
FEATURE SUMMARY Avoid sun exposure and keep your body temperature low. Keep yourself well-fed and hydrated. Water will be a scarce resource! Find abandoned locations and uses them as temporary refuges. Consume energy with every action, find a bed and strategize how many resources are needed to recover it back. Unlock different refuge facilities, such as the crafting bench, animal traps and the fireplace. Prepare food and craft all the items required for your survival. Hide from the lethal sandstorms. Discover the stories of the people that lived in this mysterious part of the desert.
Something lies in the darkness...

Jo, I put Arid on my wishlist so I'd remember to play but are you saying this was put out by the university, is it like a class project? The graphics look amazing and it looks like my kind of game, I was just curious about the University scenario :)

It was a student class project. It's made with Unity so it was probably an advanced class. I've posted other Breda University games and they're always very well done and very well received. I think posting a class project on Steam is a great idea. How much valuable info would they get from Steam users and their reviews. Other universities do this, too.

Release Date: May 15, 2018 Free to keep when you get it before Sep 8 @ 1:00pm. Some limitations apply. (?) Tags are Colony Sim, Strategy, City Builder, Survival, Space, Base Building, Mars, Simulation, Sci-fi, Resource Management, Singleplayer, Building, Management, Space Sim, Sandbox, Futuristic, RTS, Great Soundtrack, Open World, Moddable
Welcome Home! The time has come to stake your claim on the Red Planet and build the first functioning human colonies on Mars! All you need are supplies, oxygen, decades of training, experience with sandstorms, and a can-do attitude to discover the purpose of those weird black cubes that appeared out of nowhere. With a bit of sprucing up, this place is going to be awesome!
Surviving Mars is a sci-fi city builder all about colonizing Mars and surviving the process. Choose a space agency for resources and financial support before determining a location for your colony. Build domes and infrastructure, research new possibilities and utilize drones to unlock more elaborate ways to shape and expand your settlement. Cultivate your own food, mine minerals or just relax by the bar after a hard day’s work. Most important of all, though, is keeping your colonists alive. Not an easy task on a strange new planet.
There will be challenges to overcome. Execute your strategy and improve your colony’s chances of survival while unlocking the mysteries of this alien world. Are you ready? Mars is waiting for you.
Main Features: *Building on a planet not fit for human life challenges you to build a smart, functional colony. Bad planning isn’t about traffic jams, it’s about survival of your colonists. You really don’t want rolling blackouts in a city constructed in a place without oxygen. *Each colonist is a unique individual with problems and strengths that influence the needs and behavior of the other colonists. Things can get really interesting if your chief scientists develops alcoholism after one too many long nights in the lab. *Retro-futuristic super structures housing colonists, factories and commercial buildings with their own “neighborhood personality.” Create colonies that value science over everything else, while tired workers drink their pay away at a local bar, or attempt a utopia among the stars. *Inspired by the classic sci-fi of Asimov and Clarke, Surviving Mars holds many secrets. During each playthrough players may encounter one of Mars’ individually crafted mysteries. Uncovering these secrets might bring your colony great fortune, or terrible ruin. What is that sphere that manifested itself outside colony HUB B, and is it friendly? *Combine static and random research through experimentation, which allows for a different experience for each journey through the game. *Attain new scientific breakthroughs by exploring the uncharted terrain of Mars's surface. *A sleek, modern take on the bright futurism of the 1960s. A time of exploration and adventure. *Craft your own fantastic buildings, parks or even a mystery to share through Surviving Mars’s extensive and convenient modding tools. Share your finest creations with the community to build the perfect society.
Note: What better way to try a new genre than with a FREE game!

Thanks for the post about "Surviving Mars", Jo. I can't believe that they are offering it for free now, considering it costs £27 / USD 37.23 originally. I have always wanted to try it out, but thought it was too expensive. I wonder why they offering it for free instead just, say, 50% off or something similar.

I have always wanted to try it out, but thought it was too expensive. I wonder why they offering it for free instead just, say, 50% off or something similar. Either sales are down because it's already been out for three years and they're trying to stir up renewed interest which would include buying the DLC or they're getting ready to release new DLC. All of the current DLC is on sale. Or they may be coming out with a new game(s). Whatever the reason, they've got a plan. The publisher is Paradox Interactive and that's a pretty savvy company. Stellaris has been out for five years and they're still adding DLC to that game. Just enjoy it while you can get it!
